“I want to make sure that children who come into a school and I engage with, that they walk away having had an experience where they were valued, where they were known, seen and loved, where their opinions mattered, where they could contribute.”

 

Today’s guest is Kimberly Townsend, founder and executive director at The Leadership School, a charter school in St. Louis. Kimberly has 15 years in the teaching field and sees charter schools as just a different approach to education. In this episode, Kimberly sits down with Staci to discuss the impact of teachers empowering their students, what parents need to know about charter schools, and how to determine what values they want for their child.
